Product Overview

Penguins on Ice is a single-player puzzle game built around sliding ice blocks. The challenge is to arrange the shifting pieces so they all fit on the game board while landing the five penguins in the exact spots shown in the included challenge booklet. The puzzle mechanic is based on ancient Greek Pentomino, with pieces that shift and adjust to fit into place as players work through each layout. Puzzles range from simple setups for beginners to more complex arrangements for experienced players.
